[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 2399931, member: 1"] It used to bother me - a lot. I'm not talking from a convention point of view here - just that of my home game. Over the years, my feelings towards it have changed drastically. Now it doesn't bother me at all. Luckily, D&D isn't a competitive game. One person cheating doesn't necessarily detract from the enjoyment of anyone else. And if the DM has figured out that somebody in the group tends to like to play fast and loose with the rules, I figure - why not just let 'em? Compensate for it occasionally if you need to, but if everybody is having fun, then it doesn't matter to me. Perhaps the cheating person would have more fun if he/she didn't cheat; or perhaps not. But that's that person's choice to make. If he gets more out of the game by doing that, then he may as well go for it. I'm not going to be able to stop him, and doing so doesn't necessarily benefit me anyway. So, now it doesn't bother me at all. I find it mildy amusing, in fact. When it comes down to it, the rules are just a tool to facilitate the enjoyment of everyone there. They're a means, not an end. As long as the end is being met, it doesn't worry me in the slightest.
